Would be nice if the Bucs did this, especially for those who bought a Revis jersey. http://espn.go.com/boston/nfl/story/_/id/10900270/new-england-patriots-offer-jersey-guarantee-fans "The New England Patriots will become the first NFL team to offer a jersey rebate if a fan purchases a jersey of a player who is no longer under contract within a year of that jersey being bought. If a fan purchases a jersey from either the team website or stadium store, and the player whose name on the back leaves the team within a year of purchase, that fan will receive a 25 percent discount toward the price of the next Patriots jersey they buy. The fan, who has two months from the day the player is no longer under contract to make the new purchase with the discount, does not have to return the original jersey with the name of the former player.Last year, the team took the unprecedented move of allowing anyone who had bought a jersey of Aaron Hernandez, who was charged with murder, to exchange it for the jersey of another player. More than 1,200 fans took the team up on the offer.But the team wanted to do more to give fans confidence to buy jerseys. Tim Tebow became a popular seller for Patriots fans last year, but he was cut before the season started. LeGarrette Blount, who became the Patriots go-to rusher in the second half of last season, and became a popular jersey purchase, left in March to sign a two-year deal with the Steelers.With the guarantee, fans now might feel better at buying a jersey of Darrelle Revis, even though team's new cornerback is only signed to the team for this year.There are three tiers of officially licensed NFL Nike jerseys and the discount applies to all of them. The Game Jersey, the cheapest adult-sized replica, costs $100. The Limited Jersey, which has embroidered twill numbers, will cost $150 this season, up from $135. And the Elite Jersey, which is the closest to what the players wear on the field, will retail for $295, up from $250 last season."
